    Always excellent with an attentive staff and very good chef. The owners really care to put on a great dinner, and they achieve their goals night after night. Can be noisy if you’re there on a busy Saturday evening, but the food and service never lack.

    I always love the dining experience at Chapeau! Chef greeted us at the door, showed us to our table, then checked in with our group from time to time during dinner. The lighting is on the low side, which adds to the comfortable ambiance, but makes it hard to read the menu. Cell phone flashlight did its job. Food was delicious as were the specialty cocktails!

    Wonderful dining experience at Chapeau. This long-standing restaurant is better than ever. Fine cuisine, attentive service, and good wines. Quiet and tasteful environment. Probably the best French restaurant in San Francisco.

    Happy with the grande menu prix fixe. The owner was out and about and the food was good. The service fancy touches but isn’t sterile like other places. We’re arrived for a 530 reservation to a quiet restaurant and by the time we were done it was busy buzzing and a bit crowded.

    Chapeau does not disappoint! Everything was wonderful! We had escargot (the best in the city),chestnut soup, branzino and lamb shank. We have dined at the restaurant before and it is always spot on! Pascal is a great waiter! He is very attentive and professional! Desserts are a must! Crème Brule and Blueberry Clafloutis were delish! Our reservation was early, and the restaurant did get busy but we never felt rushed. We will return again and again!
